Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 48 Mother Xue

   Xue's mother's name is Xue Lihua, and she shares the same surname as Xue's father. Their marriage is a feudal product left by the words of a matchmaker ordered by their parents.

   As a woman from which era, Mother Xue's life can be summed up in four words, that is, 'the husband and the child'.

  Although Mother Xue couldn't help Father Xue in business, she was able to take care of the house properly, so that Father Xue could concentrate on his own business and not worry about other things.

   Having lived in the Xue family for nearly ten years, Yang Chen’s predecessor, because of his mother Xue, had already been integrated into the family and became one of them.

  Mother Xue stretched out her hand to hold Yang Chen's face, touched Yang Chen's thin face and said, "I'm thin, I'll say that Yu Fei's girl can take care of herself well, how can she take care of you."

  Because of his height, in order to allow Mother Xue to easily touch his face, Yang Chen had to squat down and let Mother Xue look at whether he was thin or fat, without the slightest impatience.

   Hearing what her mother said, Xue Yufei pouted, rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, continue to be partial."

   I have to say that Mother Xue doesn't know whether it's because she has only Xue Yufei's daughter, or she really likes Yang Chen. Anyway, since the day Yang Chen arrived at Xue's house, Mother Xue has always raised Yang Chen as her son.

   As for eccentricity, it can only be said that motherhood is inherently more important to boys, while fathers are more inclined to daughters.

   After a while, Mother Xue released Yang Chen and said, "Achen, let's stay and eat together today, Auntie will make dumplings for you to eat later."

   Seeing Mother Xue's look of hope inside and out, Yang Chen didn't hesitate, nodded and replied, "Okay, I haven't eaten the dumplings made by your aunt for a long time."

Seeing that Yang Chen agreed, Mother Xue couldn't help laughing, then turned to look at Father Xue, who had never spoken, patted Yang Chen's hand and said, "That's fine, auntie will go and prepare now, now you two have a good chat. chat."

   "Yu Fei, come here to help Mom." After speaking, Mother Xue winked at Xue Yufei, who was tired of being by Yang Chen's side.

   Seeing this, Xue Yufei blinked at Yang Chen, and left with her mother.

   "Uncle" waited for Mother Xue and Xue Yufei to leave one after another, Yang Chen walked up to Father Xue and shouted, and then he didn't know how to speak.

   Father Xue put down the newspaper in his hand that he hadn't flipped, and took off his reading glasses: "Come back, sit down and talk."

   Yang Chen sat in the place where Xue Yufei and Mother Xue sat before, and picked up the remote control to turn off the TV, and then waited for Father Xue to speak.

   Father Xue asked Yang Chen while cleaning the teacup: "Listen to Yu Fei, you went abroad a few days ago, are you okay?"

   "It's nothing." Yang Chen shook his head.

   "It's fine, it's been more than half a year since your kid went out, and I don't know how to come back to see your aunt."

   Father Xue's tone was like reproach and helplessness, which made Yang Chen not know how to answer, so he had to keep his mouth shut and didn't speak in embarrassment.

  Fortunately Father Xue didn't delve into this matter. He changed his tone and asked, "I heard that your kid went to Haojiang some time ago?"

   "It's a trip." Yang Chen answered with a guilty conscience, and it looked like a good baby did something wrong and didn't dare to face the parents, so Uncle Fu who was beside him couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly.

   Seeing Yang Chen admit, Father Xue's face has obviously improved a lot, but he still couldn't help but warn: "Which place, it is better to go less in the future, you are still young, don't indulge in those things."

  Yang Chen didn't say much, just assured him: "Uncle, don't worry, there will be no next time."

   "Press, that's fine." Father Xue nodded, put the washed teacup in front of Yang Chen, and then brought him a cup of tea.

   Yang Chen habitually took the teacup in his hand, put it on his lips and sipped, then hesitantly asked Father Xue, "Uncle, I heard that the garment factory is in trouble?"

   Seeing Yang Chen asking about this, Father Xue put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at Yang Chen, then paused and said, "I encountered some trouble, but it's not a big deal, you don't have to worry."

   Seeing that Yang Chen seemed to understand, Father Xue couldn't help but explain: "In recent years, the Heungkong garment industry has developed rapidly, and the annual export volume has reached tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and it has become a pillar industry of Heungkong.

   Such a big piece of fat is not only envious of the Jardine Group, but other big groups and companies are also envious.

  Xue's Manufacturing is one of the few large factories in Heung Kong with thousands of workers. Over the years, Jardine Group has always wanted to further enter the garment industry, and Xue's Manufacturing is just one of their breakthroughs.

   However, they think of others too simply, especially the Jardine Group has been expanding in recent years, and its overbearing behavior has already caused anger and resentment.

   Once the wolf of the Jardine Group is allowed to break in, then with its domineering character, I don’t know how many people will suffer because of it. "

Saying that, Father Xue picked up the teacup again, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "Jardine Group thought that with its influence, I had cut off the raw materials of Xue's manufacturing industry, and I had no choice. I don't know that the entire Xiangjiang clothing industry is now There is simply no room for it to come in.

  Look at how the people who came to Jardine Group left in a dreadful way after hitting their heads. "

   "Uh" Hearing this, Yang Chen was a little stunned.

   Originally, he thought that Father Xue would be devastated because of this, but he didn't want the other party to think differently from himself.

   But then again, based on Yang Chen's knowledge of the big family consortia in Xiangjiang in his previous life, it seems that businessmen like Xiangjiang have always been like this.

   Every time he hit the younger ones to the old ones, the old ones came to relatives, they beat up relatives, and then again came a lot of different relatives.

   Relatives are surrounded by relatives, and almost half of the entire Xiangjiang family is united in this way.

   It can be said that once an external company is matched with those family-owned businesses in Xiangjiang, it is not one or two companies that are matched, but a lot of relatives and friends behind them.

   Once this fight calls for friends, the result is obvious.

   And the consortium power of Xiangjiang, it was also at this time that the resistance of Chinese capital to British capital was gradually formed.

   Seeing that Yang Chen didn't ask any more questions, Father Xue couldn't help but sighed and said, "At that time, the predicament of Xue's manufacturing industry is not external, but internal.

   In recent years, with the continuous development of Hong Kong's economy, people have gradually become richer, and many young people have begun to pursue novelty and fashion for clothes.

  I don't know if I'm getting old, I can't keep up with the times or what. Xue's manufacturing has been declining in sales in recent years, and I don't know how long it can last. "
